A Blockchain-Based Approach to Trust System Design in Multi-Agent Environments presents the following source proposition: TrustLedger includes mechanisms for agent registration, role and task creation, proposal submission, voting, token staking, and the automatic distribution of rewards and penalties. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that In a decentralized autonomous organization a series of smart contracts grants token holders voting rights, so the blockchain-based smart contract performs the function that articles of incorporation or bylaws perform in a conventional company. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
